Things I'm Doing...

Just wanted to take a moment and tell you about some of things I'm doing at this point in life. First, I love to Raz. I'll pucker my lips up and just blow until the spit flies! I know, sounds gross, and maybe if I were 18 and doing it, then gross would be the best way to describe it, but right now, it's just fun and messy.

Also, I love to laugh. My Dada does this thing where he like hums on my neck and it just cracks me up. Laughing is great which means I smile a lot too. That's almost as much fun too. Everyone loves to see me smile, so I try and do it as often as I can.

What else am I doing...I eat. A lot. Much more than Hunter ever did apparently. I love to eat, can't hardly get enough. Mama's back to work, so my food is coming at me in bottle form, which I'm totally okay with.

The nerve thing is getting a lot better. We're doing lots of Tummy Time, to try and strengthen my upper body and neck. Mama worries I've been cursed with my Dada's somewhat weaker upper body. Fortunately, I make up for it with his undeniably handsome face and bring-a-smile-to-your-face charm.

So, things are good, really good. Just in case you were wondering. Oh, and here's a pic. And, yes, it's a pic of me doing a Raz.

3 Months Feels Good On Me!

Today is the last day Mama will get to spend off work. It's been twelve weeks since my birth and I've managed to keep life interesting for everyone around. I survived the first bout of Flu to hit our home in years (poor Ethan, Caleb, and Mama), my physical therapy is going well (little nerve damage, nothing serious), and I've made a quick transition from nursing to bottle feeds (thanks to the Flu and Mama's 105 degrees of super warmth).

I don't mind the bottle so much, in fact, most of the time I can't wait to get it in my mouth. It's probably a good thing too because I had a hard time nursing in any position other than laying on my left side which, I've been told, is the reason my giant melon has an odd shape to it. Mama and Dada had to do some shopping to change up some of my routine positional choices and Dada had to MacGyver one of my bouncer chairs to encourage my exploration of everything to my right...


Mama helped and Hunter sacrificed the belt system from his carseat, but man, my Dada can solve just about any problem you throw at him. I've never seen anything like it.

Mama and Dada celebrated my 3 months last night with a movie date. I was here with Grandma and Hunter, and that got me thinking about some of the great memories I have of the last three months, and I know the only reason anyone checks this blog right now is because they're look ing for pics, so here ya go...

















So, that's some of the things I remember about my first three months on this planet. I have a good life with great parents, awesome brothers, and lots of family that loves me. Talk to you all again soon. Cole.
